Part 1- Introduction

Welcome to the world of Pokemon Solar and Lunar Versions. Pokemon Solar and Lunar takes you on a journey across the region of Isho and meet over 100 new pokemon while on a quest to take down the evil Team Cosmos and become the Pokemon League champion.

Part 2- The Story

The story of Pokemon Solar and Lunar takes place in the region of Isho, which consists of two landmasses divided by a sea. The western landmass is the largest and with the most establishments, and the eastern landmass is the smallest with the fewest towns. A normally peaceful region, the evil Team Cosmos has been wreaking havoc across the land, stealing pokemon and rare items. Who can stop their rampage of chaos?

In the peaceful town of Tinygem, a 10-year old kid wakes up in the rays of the morning sun, looking forward to getting their first pokemon and starting a journey to become a Pokemon Master. In this case, we will use the male character, Max. When Max walks down the stairs, he finds that three Team Cosmos grunts and their mysterious leader, Mystique, have broken into his house. The grunts start battling his mother and her Yawnie. Max's mom ends up losing to the grunts’ pokemon, then Mystique commands the grunts go through the bookshelf. They rummage through it, grab two very old books titled "The Legend of the Solar Being" and "The Legend of the Lunar Being” and run off with them. Mystique laughs and says, "Sorry little boy, but you can't stop Team Cosmos from obtaining what I rightfully deserve!", then she walks out of the house. Max runs to his mom to see if she is alright. She says that Team Cosmos stole a very important book explaining about the legendary pokemon of Isho. What would Team Cosmos want with information on the Pokemon of the Sun and Moon???

Suddenly, the main character’s childhood friend, Emma, comes into the house to remind the main character that they have to go to Professor Holly to get their first pokemon. She sees the mess Team Cosmos made in Max’s house and asks his mom what happened. Max’s mom explains to Emma what happened, then tells Max and Emma to go ahead to Professor Spruce’s lab and she will deal with the mess. The two kids then head off to Route 301 and on to Ruburgh Town, where Professor Holly’s laboratory is located.

When Max and Emma arrive in the quiet mountainous town of Ruburgh, they go straight to Professor Holly's lab, which sits on a hill overlooking the town. Professor Holly greets the two kids and offers them a choice of three starter pokemon: Aquotter, Embear, and Treecoon. Max chooses his first pokemon, then accepts a Pokedex and 5 Poke Balls from Professor Spruce, then starts to walk off. But once Emma gets her pokemon and items, she says she challenges you to a battle. Whether Max wins or loses, Professor Holly is impressed with Max and Emma’s battling, and recommends that they take on the Pokemon League Challenge. Max and Emma are interested in the proposition, and Professor Holly tells them to go to Sappharbor City to take on the first gym. Emma takes off first, followed by Max, both determined to get to Sappharbor City. And for Max to get revenge on the evil Team Cosmos…

Part 3- The Pokemon

Over 100 pokemon will be introduced in Pokemon Solar and Lunar, but only a few have been made so far, with many more on the way. Here is a preview of some of the pokemon:

The land of Isho is not fully complete, but details and some of the cities have been made. The region is made up of two main landmasses divided by a sea. The largest is the western landmass, which hosts most of the cities and towns, and is mountainous and has a lot of forest. The eastern landmass is the smallest and shaped like a crescent. It is a tropical region with a volcano in the middle of it. The theme of the towns and cities are gems and stones.

The hometown of the main character is Tinygem Town, situated in the Western landmass of the region. The towns following are Ruburgh Town, Sappharbor City, Emerwood City, Diamopolis City, Amberelic City, Celequartz Town and Frostone City. Located south of the landmass is Tropal Island, a small isle filled with tropical plants and Pokemon. On the eastern landmass lies Dentech City, Igneoridge Town and Pearlshore City. In the ocean is Blucoral Town and the Pokemon League.

Current Challenges:

The Pokemon Solar and Lunar team has released the name for another town: Igneoridge Town. Igneoridge is located at the foot of Mt Flare, an active volcano. It is the second town on the eastern landmass, south of Dentech City. It is the gateway to the volcano, as well as the home of Frederick, a gym leader specializing in Fire type pokemon.

We are also in the process of creating a name for the region, as well as sketches for the characters.

One new type has been introduced into the game. You may have heard of a lot, the Light-type. This new attribute brings the total number of types in Solar and Lunar to 18 different varieties. The details of the new type:

Light-type: A new update on this now-familiar type. So far the only converted pokemon will be Bellossom (Grass/Light) and Sunflora (Grass/Light), as well as the Pokemon Solar Version legendary, Solavine (Fire/Light). The light-type will reflect off of heavenly and star-related subjects. More pokemon are expected for this new type.

Wind-type: A suggested addition by mistersmeargle on the Poke Community forums. This new type will form the separation between birds and wind-related pokemon. Existing pokemon in the pokedex that will be converted will be Mantine (Water/Wind) and Chimecho (Psychic/Wind). Also, some moves will be coverted, including Air Cutter, Air Slash, Razor Wind, and Whirlwind. More udpates for this type are expected.

Isho:

The Tropal Rainforest has been coverted to Treeblossom Park, where the Bug-catching contest will be held on certain days.

Ok, here is THE final list for evolutions and pre-evolutions of existing pokemon that will be in Pokemon Solar and Lunar.

Evolutions:

-Absol
-Corsola
-Lapras
-Seviper
-Torkoal
-Zangoose

Pre-evolutions:

-Miltank/Tauros (depends on gender)
-Skarmory
-Tropius

The names of the Absol, Corsola, and Lapras evolutions have been decided: Absaster (Catastrophe Pokemon), Corsoreef (Reef Pokemon), and Royalus (Majestic Pokemon). The name for the pre-evolution of Miltank and Tauros will be Moocalf (Calf Pokemon),

Ok, a new forum has been set-up for the Pokemon Solar and Lunar project. To view it, the link is in my signature. Enjoy!

Also... the name of the Lunar Being has been confirmed: Lunashade. The name comes from the words "lunar" and "shade". And the legendary trio of the game will be the classic Fire, Ice, and Electric trinity, but they will all share the dragon-type attribute. The names and designs have yet to be designed.
